Chapter 8 Tunisia Again

Gaby. "We are all booked in at the Sahara beach hotel in Monastir in Tunisia. Our flight time should be about 3 hours."

They all left the room to go and pack. Gaby's group departed from Leeds, Lorelei group from Sheffield and the last group from Manchester airports. Upon landing their arrival was noticed by the minions of Khan. Who took photographs of all the new arrivals?

One of Khan's henchmen. "Khan is going to be pleased with this lot Three different flights each with a lot of beauties."

They emailed the photographs of the girls to Khan. "Try and abduct the lot in one go."

Back at the hotel everybody was having a good time. Gaby noticed an Arabian lady approaching her. "You and your friends are in great danger. Khan would kill me if he knew I was here. They intend to abduct all of you tomorrow." With that she was gone.

The following day the girls had booked a coach trip to go sightseeing. Gaby noticed no attempt had yet been made. She had instructed the others not to resist any attempt to abduct them. As they needed to free the others who had been previously captured. Along with some other people they boarded the coach. They had not been on the coach long when some of the strangers pulled out guns and shot the driver. The shot also grazed Lorelei. Gaby tore her dress to make a bandage for Lorelei.

Lorelei said to Gaby. "The fats about to hit the fire dad will not let this go unavenged.” The girls & the two males where taken to the oasis of Gabes as Gabriel had suspected. There they where placed in a room with other women. Gaby noticed two that looked like Maddy & Jool's she went over to them and spoke to them.

One of the other females spoke on their behalf. "They kept saying they where males when obviously they are not so the khan men removed their tounges so they can no longer speak.

Gaby. “I am looking for some missing girls here who are cousins of mine.”

To there was a rousing response. “Some of us are here.”

Gaby "Somehow I need everybody here to get to the oasis a take a swim."

Khan entered the room he was wearing a medallion of the Heavens. He looked at Gaby. "I will make you my number one wife."

Gaby . "Before I am made anybody's wife I need a good wash as do most of your other women.”

Khan "Very well you all may bathe in the oasis." He ordered a screen to be erected around the oasis so no men eyes could see the ladies bathe. He noticed Gaby looking at the medallion.

"The medalion is supposed to bring me my fortune. It never has so you can have it if you want." Gaby took the medallion and placed it around her neck. "See even the most dominant one can be bought for a worthless trinket.”

The trinket was not worthless, as Gaby well knew for it was part of her missing regalia.

Gaby. "It is a pity you do not have anymore of these for I am sure my sisters would like them as wedding presents.”

Khan. "But I do."

As he sent his henchmen for the chest containing the other regalia. Khan handed the chest to Gaby. “Help yourselves to what ever is in here. To me it is a load of rubbish.” With that he was gone.

He failed to notice the water flowing out of the oasis and watering the dessert. With the water the dessert sprung to life. Gaby looked at the treasure in front of her. She picked up the first medallion and handed it to Maddy she proceeded to hand all of them out. Gaby also laid her hand on wound her cousin had sustained and healed it. At the bottom of the box was three items.

Lorelei picked them up. “ The lost copper crown of Men. The orb and sceptre. My cousin and my Empress please take these, which are yours by right.” Lorelie placed the crown of Man on on Gaby's head the orb in her right hand and the sceptre in the left hand.

As Lorelei did so Gaby felt the additional power surge through her. As the ladies made they're way to the oasis for their swim. Gaby handed the Orb to Maddy and the sceptre to Ally. "I will keep hold of the crown." Gaby led the ladies to the oasis where they all dived in and Lorelei led them to the hall of Neptune.

Gaby was the last to go as she was about to dive in when she heard a voice " Oh no you don't." There stood Khan you cannot escape me in there others have tried they always fail.

"Khan I do not need to escape from you. For the shooting of Lorelei has brought about your down fall.” As she spoke the waters boiled and before and them appeared Neptune on his war chariot. Without further thought Neptune let loose his thunderbolts where they landed fountains of life giving water sprung up. Khan dived for cover, as did Gaby. Who then decided to dive in to the pool and swim across to Neptune? She mounted the golden chariot that was drawn by six green sea dragons. Gaby stood on the platform above her uncle. As she did so Lorelei & her sister replaced the orb and sceptre. As they did so the other three crowns magically appeared and Gaby's countenance changed. As Gabriel was about to speak one of the sea dragons took hold of a man who was stood at the waters edge and promptly devoured him.

Then Neptune calmed down. "He's paid for his crime with his life he should not have shot my daughter."

Khan. "Who are you”?

Gaby. “To my friends I am Gaby or Gabriel Bond To others I am Empress of the Heavens. Queen of the sea & waters. Queen of the air and all flying things. Queen of all. To you I am grateful for today you have restored the Crown of Man to me. For that your life will be spared. I am at a loss as to how it came into your possession."

Khan. "I presume you mean the medallions and things that where given to me by my mother before she and my father split up. She told me that they would protect me from harm and I would be surrounded by the most beautiful ladies in the world."

" After my parents split I never saw her again although it is strange I feel she never left me. I got the same feeling when I handed you the medallion. I am sorry about the two who had their tongues removed it was not supposed to happen. I complained one day a little two loud and two of the guards took me literally to silence them." As Khan spoke he found he was indeed surrounded by beautiful ladies. Tatiania & Galadrial joined Gaby.

Galadrial. "It would be better for his mother or Grandmother to carry punishment out.”

Gaby. "That is all very well but we know neither." Justine as she was known stepped forward.

"The last time I saw the crown of Man. It was with my Daughter Alice who took them into safe keeping and then she vanished. Khan do you have a photo of your mother."

Khan "I only have this of both my parents and I as a young child. They split shortly after this was taken. Then my father got killed in a car accident and I was raised by the Arab Bedouin of the Sahara."

Gaby looked at the photo it looked very much like her own mother. She passed the photo over to Galadrial and then to Tatiana. "There is no doubt who his mother is." They passed the photo to Justine.

Justine looked at the photo and started to cry "Alice." She turned to Khan “It looks as if I will have to take you in hand or should I leave you to the Empress to sort out.”

"No" reverberated around the oasis as a bedraggled woman came running into view and put herself between Gaby & Khan.

Gaby. "Welcome Aunt Alice. You could do with a swim & then we will talk". As she emerged from the water her whole identity appeared to have changed. "It is the second time anun Alice we have met. The first was the warning of the attack. I wonder if it was for concern of me or for the both of us. You are the missing Alice and daughter to Justine. My mother's cousin who looks more likes her twin.”

Gaby's mother stepped forward and looked at Alice. "Oh my god it is Alice," Said Gaby's mother as she gave Alice a hug. Gaby took both of them by her hands. As Justine & Tatiania stood before them.

Gaby. "This farce has gone on long enough. First I discover a twin sister I never knew I had. Now I find my own mother is a twin.

Aunt Carol stepped forward and corrected her “Triplet actually. Three was two many for Tatiania to bring up. So it was decided that Alice would be brought up as Justine's daughter.”

Gaby. "Khan come here. Before I pass sentence on you Khan are there any more revelations I need to know. Khan your mother promised you that you would live with beautiful ladies."

Khan nodded his head. "Your mother also asked you to look after certain items which you did until today when you gave them to me.”

"You have been found guilty of abducting females especially members of your own family. In mitigation this was to try and fulfil your mothers promise to you. You are sentenced to"

"No”, said Alice, “Punish me instead”.

Gaby had Maddy & Ally take their aunt to one side. "I will continue now. You are sentenced to live as a companion to the team. One thing must change cousin.” as Gaby touched Khan. “Come cousin join your family where you are wanted.” As Khan held on to Gaby he felt some changes taking place in his body. After a few seconds Gaby spoke,

"Aunt Alice" You also are required to join the family and teach your daughter correctly Khan has gone meet Kelly. Now all I have to deal with is the two duplicates.”

Daisy, "May I make a suggestion”

Gaby, "What is it"?

Daisy "Well we miss being around you all the time. So I propose that the two duplicate sisters of yours are sent to Nepal."

Em. "They certainly would be well looked after."

Galadrial "May I speak. The king priest needs at least one wife."

Gaby. "We will depart for Nepal." Ally sent an email to inform the priest King expect them again. In Kathmandu they where again greeted by the priest king.

Gaby. "I am sorry to do this to you. I do miss my Leprechauns around me.”

The king priest gave a sigh. "You can gladly have them back as they have driven me up the wall."

Gaby. "Two of my sisters expressed an interest in you and have asked for my permission to take you as their husband.”

Gaby. "They are the identical twins of my sisters Maddy & Jool's so please take great care of them for I will return & I will be very annoyed if they have been mistreated.” A Royal wedding was performed in Kathmandu. Before the service Gaby returned their tongues to them & also told them while they could remember their former lives their but would never be able to tell anybody.”

“If you are asked questions about me you will find the answers come when required. With that they where given to the king priest as his no 1 and no2 wives.”

After the wedding service Gaby said To the others. “I feel like a vacation. lets all pay a visit to Neptune"

Galadrial "By the time your vacation is over Neptune will need a holiday." With that they set off for Neptune's palace.

Elizabeth .

When Gaby eventually returned home. Her father in her absence had been buying up even more property up. “Gaby with all these extra family members being discovered I thought we would need additional accommodation. Also since you have been away there have been several changes around here. A friend of yours has taken control of a hotel group and made this his corporate headquarters. Also the number of men in the town appears to be dropping drastically.” Gaby went to give her father a cuddle. As Gaby snuggled up on her fathers knee.

Dave. "Andrew". This certainly got her attention for it had been a long time since anybody had called her that. "Drew do you feel ok now. I know you are now a girl. I still think of you as my son."

"Dad I am both and I certainly feel better than I ever did as Andrew. Life for me certainly is different to what I was used too and it certainly took a little getting used too. Girls on the whole have more fun than boys."

Dave. "I often wondered what I would have looked like if I had not stopped changing and got stuck. I love your mother and all my children. I have often wondered what life could have been like for me if I had changed completly."

Gaby snuggled tighter in to her dad. “You and mum would still have found a way just like Maddy, Ally & I". Your not wanting me to change you are you?"

Dave, "No Gaby I do not want you to change me. I do though have a problem I need to talk to you about. I am not sure if your mother has already noticed. Certain changes have gradually been taking place on me. Everybody thought I had stopped changing. While you where away I started to get a problem with my chest. I went to the doctors who initially said the was nothing to worry about. However two weeks later I went back & saw a different doctor who diagnosed me as having the same problem as you and Em. "

"Don't worry dad we will help you through this. As I am still Andrew to you, you will still be dad to me." As Gaby snuggled up into her father.

Later the following day Gaby had gone shopping with her mother, Maddy, Kerry & Aunt Alice to Leeds. Alice spoke to the others "Thanks for coming shopping I need a complete wardrobe & advice on what is in fashion for Kerry. I also need advice off you sister as for years I have dressed as a Bedouin. I hope you do not mind but I thought we would take the train to Leeds to do the shopping."

Maddy was in her element. "Gaby will the others not mind being with us to day."

Gaby looked round. "I was expecting Daisy & her sister Buttercup for they never leave my side."

As they drove in the Zaphira down to the Railway station Jenny said, "Gaby I have something to tell you. It is better to come from me. Your father has developed a couple of problems. I noticed them while you where away in Tunisia. I am not sure but think the same problem you had has restarted with your father."

Alice looked shocked. “You mean your husband is turning female." Gaby interrupted her Aunt before she could continue.

"Dad spoke to me last night on the subject he was quite upset. He was worried what you would think of him. I explained Maddy and I had found a way and we still loved each other regardless of how we looked. I also told dad he would still be my dad even if he looked more like mum."

Jennie. "It looks like I am going to have words with your father when we get back. Gaby you know it was because he was so feminine that attracted me to him in the first place."

Alice."Yes he is attractive and if you ever decide you don't want him I would like first refusal. I would have him in a jiffy."

"Alice we shared him once before do you not remember." A smile came across the face of Alice.

Jenny. "I would have preferred the others to be here before they get to know from other sources."

This was said just they were pulling up outside the railway station into one of the many parking bays. At the station there was Helen with Ally & Aunt Carol with the two Leprechauns. Also there was Jool's & Em.

Carol looked at Jenny."Well have you told them yet"? Just then the new electric train came into the Station. We managed to get a compartment to ourselves.

Jenny. "Girls we have something to tell you all. First as Gaby & Maddy have already discovered your father Jool's has started changing like Drew did. About a month a go I discovered that his body had restarted the changes. At the rate he is progressing i should think he will join us in about a month's time.”

Jool's looked at Gaby & Maddy. "Why had it started to happen now"?

Aunt Carol. "We do not know. We have decided to make his last days very happy."

Maddy.” Does that mean what I think it means”?”

Alice. "Yes Helen & I will be moving in with Carol & your parents from tonight & sharing the facilities. Kerry will in future live with her sisters".

Gaby. "But Kerry does not have any sisters she is your only daughter."

Alice."Have I to explain or shall you Jenny.”

Jenny. "My sisters all managed to marry men who proved to be infertile although they looked like hunks. First I start with Jool's you where a twin as you may have already guessed. Helen my sister was pregnant at the same time. We both went into the same hospital and had beds side by side. Helen's child did not survive. I had two children both daughters. So between us we decided to rear one child each. Jool's was one Ally was the other?”

“A while later I got pregnant again & again I was having triplets this time though. My uncle's wife had just miss carried so she took Renate to bring her up as their daughter.”

Alice "I will continue from here. I suggested to your mother that perhaps if I slept with your dad I might get pregnant. As we look a like your father. He never knew that it was I and not your mother he impregnated. "I soon found that I was with child as was your mother for the third time.

Around this time Carol also found she was with child. We all went into the hospital on the same day. Carol & I both miss carried while your mother did not have twins this time but triplets. We each took one child home and registered the child as our husband's child."

Maddy cuddled up to Gaby. It appears your wife's are also your sisters.

Carol."That was why we where against it originally now though you are all females so it does not matter. In fact we where going to propose you take on an extra partner forever. I see no reason why you should not take on Kelly if Maddy & Ally agree.”

Gaby, “Wait a minute.”

Darcie. ”Gaby you also have at least another four who want to married under the eyes of the heavens.”

Jool's "While I like Darcie & Adrianne I much prefer cuddling up to Gaby.”

Kelly. "Nobody has bothered to ask me. First if I am to get married to my sisters providing the other agree so will I. To be honest though since I was changed I never enjoyed myself as much as I did before. Jool's well I do intend to keep it in the family.”

Maddy. "Well Kat loves both Gaby & I. We would welcome the suggestion for us all to marry each other on block or at least as none of us can be legally married say our vows in front of the family.”

Ally. "Mum do you intend to set up home with your sisters?”

"We girls have talked it out and feel your father will need all the support we can muster and as he is the father of all our children the answer has to be yes. You Ally will always be my daughter and your proper mother's niece. The same is applicable to Maddy & Renate.”

Ruth.

The train was pulling into Keighley station. Kelly closed the door to deter anybody coming into the front cabin they were in. A girl about the age of Gaby opened the door and entered. As she got on the doors closed automatically trapping her hand. Maddy saw what happened and managed to get the door open again the conductor came and saw the damage to her hand.

“I am afraid you or your friends will have to fill this accident form in. Unfortunatly I have nothing on board to treat the damage to your hand. I though will radio ahead and make sure a medic is available when we reach Leeds station.”

The girl was in considerable pain & started to cry. “ I missed the previous train I was supposed to meet my mother."

Gaby. "That nice I am going shopping with my mother & sisters & aunts."

"No. ” the girl sobbed, “Now I will have to go for treatment when I arrive at Leeds. I have never met my proper mother".

"I was adopted as a baby. My real mother was forced to have me adopted although she wanted to keep me. She was not married and it was not the done thing for her to bring up a child alone as a single parent." Alice & Helen cuddled up to her.

Alice. "I could never have given you away." Gaby touched her hand and the pain stopped.

“We will accompany you. Would you come with us for a meal?

The girl, "Well I am too late now to meet my mother but perhaps we will meet again.”

Gaby “How did you arrange this meeting.”

The girl. "Well it was rather strange for years I have been trying to find out about my real mother. When out of the blue a letter arrived addressed to me. Inside was a letter that could only have come from my real mother. It got me rather excited and I was looking forward to meeting her I was counting the days.”

“Yesterday I was told that if I did not turn in for work today I would be finished. Well now I have lost my job, trapped my hand and missed meeting my mother.”

Gaby. "Do not worry about a job I am sure my father can fix you up with something.” Gaby's mother was about to say something when Gaby pointed to the strange marking on the back of her hand.

Alice. "I think you had better stay with us and we will find a job for you."

Gaby.

What is your name I am called Gaby by my friends.”

“Sorry I should have said it is Ruth.”

Alice. "How where you to recognise your mother."

"In her letter she said she was going to be in Valhalla or something for a month and then we should meet in Alders in Leeds today at 11.00. The trouble is I could not find this Valhalla on any map. She did send me a photograph of herself but I have no address to contact her with or telephone number. But she appears to know my mobile and yet I never gave her either.

Helen. "In that case we might be able to help you trace her have you your telephone on you?"

Rut "Yes but I am out of credit."

Gaby. “Give it to me & after punching in several numbers came up with a code.

"Mum" "this is the code."

Alice. "That settles it she definitely stays with us."

Gaby. "The phone call you received came from my fathers office".

The train arrived in Leeds about 11.30. Gaby & companions went to Alders with Ruth. Unfortunatley Ruth's mother had already gone.

Helen. "Please join us Ruth while we shop for a few things.”

The first thing Alice did was to take to Kelly to get measured. Alice spoke to the assistant. "My daughter has changed rather a lot recently can you measure her please."

The assistant was happy to oblige 34B Madame. Kelly tried on various items and Alice bought about three of each. You can never have too many. After that they went to dine in the restaurant at British Home Stores. Gaby notices Ruth looking at her purse. "Do not worry this is on us."

Jenny. “Why don't you young ones go around together and we will meet for tea at around six.” Ruth was looking at her purse afain.

Gaby took her by her hand. "Today you are our guest. Kelly here needs a complete outfit come and help us choose it."

Ruth. "Ok then but I must warn you I have not a lot to spend. Or else I will be homeless as well as jobless.”

Kelly. "You are not listening to us to us earlier." When Gaby says you are our guest it means literally that and will cost you nothing. In fact we will refund even your train fare."

Gaby handed her the train fare. Maddy asked the Ruth for her address.

Ruth. ”I am in rented accommodation above the Victoria Pub in Keighley. My rent is also due soon and I do not know how I will pay it Now that I am jobless.”

Gaby whispered to Daisy and Buttercup. "Could you two do a job for me"?

Gaby gave the Leprechauns instruction. "We will meet you in half an hour will that be long enough"?

Daisy. "We can do that little job in less time than that." After buying the bras for Kelly the older ladies had gone off on their own.

Helen. “Jenny that mark means she is one of us.”

Alice & the others, “Well she is not our daughter.”

Jenny. "Well I provided you my sisters with children if it is not one of us then it has to be, Look who is over there it is Carol & Jane..

Alice. "No Jane she loves children & would never give up a child. Also she has only recently got married to Arthur.”

Jenny. “Well the telephone call came from the castle so it has to be one of us that actually lives there. Also which of us have been in Valhalla in the last month.”

Helen. “All the younger ones where with Gaby in Tunisia. All the older ones where with us in Valhalla. It's got to be either Carol or Jane who is the mother."

Alice. “Let us forget this for a second as we have a more pressing problem like your husband Jenny. It is time his cousins took him in hand and sorted him out lets get him now." Meanwhile back at the Castle only John & George where the only ones on duty as guides and at the castle. John was laughing away.” What is so funny John?”

“The whole lot of them has gone to Leeds shopping on different trains. No doubt they will all meet up as they usually do.”

Gaby's father had decided to take a shower. After taking the shower he was drying himself and looking at himself in the mirror. He had not noticed his audience. "Well you look like a 38C to me." He whirled round. There was his wife and her sisters. "We all decided you had better be measured for what you required. So we have come to get you ready and then you join can us shopping."

Dave realised it was hopeless arguing with his wife and her sisters. What they where suggesting was going to happen one day soon anyway. "But, But.”

”No buts" said Jenny his wife. “From today my sister will share you with me. You only have four weeks left at the most so lets make the most of it. Then we will all be sisters together. All your children already know.” After getting him dressed they transported him back to Leeds. & their hair appointments.

Mean while Gaby & the younger group was having a great time. Daisy & Buttercup returned. “Everything has been paid off and the flat has been emptied and moved across to home.”

Daisy. “She does not have very much in clothing and could do with a full wardrobe.”

Ruth looked down at her hand, “That is strange the bruising has vanished from my hand.”

Daisy. “ I am going to the toilet do want to come. "

Gaby "Yes I need it."

In the toilet Daisy said, "The job she had only paid her a pittance she was struggling to make ends meet. I also found this letter and photo of her mother I think you will find it very interesting." Daisy handed the documents over.

Gaby. “You did transfer everything so she has no need to return to that flat.”

All bills paid up her deposit have been refunded. “Ruth can drive but has no car, not yet anyway.”

Gaby “I think aunt Jane is in for a big shock."

Daisy. “Do you think your mother & sister suspect?”

"No Daisy. They will have forgotten all about Ruth. They are too wrapped up with my father. To be honest I would not be surprised if they get him in a dress very soon.”

Gaby & Daisy returned to the others. Gaby. "Right we have some serious shopping to do." In and out of the stores into the Market and back to Harvey Nichols & then into house of Fraser & back to Alders.

Gaby noticed Ruth was very hesitant. “Come on try these like us.”

After a lot or persuasion Ruth agreed to get an outfit identical to what the others had purchased. As she opened her purse she gasped “Where did all that money come from. I never have seen so much money."

Gaby. "Well it is your purse is it not."

Ruth looked at it. "It is my purse, but honestly I do not know how I got so much money.”

Daisy "You must have a fairy god mother or something."

The others giggled. Maddy and Jool's . "Now Ruth you have no excuse for not buying several outfits. Ruth look completely at a loss there is more here than I earn in a year.”

Gaby. “Ruth have you forgotten already that you start at your new job on Monday for my father.”

Ruth. "You really mean it the job offer was real and not a joke."

The others all said of course. “If you do need an advance on your wages. We can arrange that also.”

Daisy. “There is one thing you will need several business suites among other things. Kerry here also needs some so you might as well get fixed together you might even get a discount.” In to New look and then on to Miss Selfridges.

Maddy. " I could do with my hair cutting longer.”

Ruth laughed. "Maddy you mean shorter". Into the salon inside the House of Fraser store.

Gaby asked if it was possible for them to give each of them waist length extensions turn them all blonde and give them a full facial, pedicure and manicure.”

The manager. “It will be half five before we finish you all will that be ok.”

Gaby handed her card over to the manager. “Charge for all of us on here. .Whilst we are in here can you have somebody model the following outfits for us and get me these items.”

The salon manager. Rang for the management for a personal shopper.

A personal shopper was organised and the required items obtained. Three of the shop assistants where instructed to model the appropriate clothing. After purchasing the clothing the manager asked. “Would you like the items delivering?”

Gaby. “Is it possable for your driver to ge all the items to this address by six." After all the girls had been given a full make over.

Daisy commented "Ruth you now look like the others." They had changed into Evening dresses.

Ruth." I am glad I trapped my hand for today has been like having sisters I wish I always had.”

Gaby, "We are going to Leeds Grand Theatre to see the ballet. Some friends of ours are dancing and for one of them it will be her last performance for quite a while.”

Ruth noticed that at the Grand they where treated like royalty. As they were taken to the box. Ruth said. "This is the royal box we are in."

Gaby. “As I said previously Ruth friends of our are dancing.”

The manager came up at half time. “Would Madam and her guests please join us on the stage for the last scene?”

Gaby. What is your last Scene?"

"Specially for you Swan Lake Madam."

Gaby. “We do not have pumps with us."

“Everything has been taken care of and all the correct sizes are available. Ruth followed the others at part time.

Gaby. "Ruth we are going back stage now. Will you come with us."

Ruth. "Well so far I have trusted you all day. So why not.”

Much to her surprise Gaby and the others striped off. They started to put on White tutus and pumps.

Gaby. "Have you ever danced?”

Ruth. "Until last year I came to Skipton to dance. There used to be a deaf boy who I did sign language with, but he went away."

Gaby. “Have you ever danced in Swan Lake?”

"I danced in the chorus." Their hair was put up. Then the Two principal dancers came on together. One came with a microphone. Ladies and gentlemen tonight at special request of the Management Dame Gaby Bond has agreed to dance the final scene from Swan Lake for us. Tonight also for a while is the final performance of Adrienne. In her absence Darce & Faith will be taking over.”

With that Gaby came on with Ruth. Ruth found her partner was her old friend Dominic Tuck. Ruth gave a shriek, "It's Dominic."

Dominic signed to her. After the performance he came to greet them. Gaby Spoke & signed at the same time. Ruth gave Dominic a hug like he was a long lost brother. “Gaby I could not afford to follow him to London and then we lost contact. Today my fairy god mother has certainly been looking after me.” After the dance there was a reception to go to.

“Will Madame follow us please?” Gaby and the others followed them to the reception area. Waiting for them in the reception area was their mother with their charge. Gaby & the others did a double take. Gaby's mother & Aunt Carol and Alice looked like identical Triplets.

Helen was stood there with what appeared to be her twin sister. "Mum" said Ally to the wrong one.

Alice, "Would you like to meet our sister." All of a sudden Gaby & Jool's burst out laughing. Maddy looked at the two Helens then she burst out laughing.

"We better call for Tatiania &Titania & see if they can sort them out".

As Gaby spoke their names they came through the door. “Somebody call for us?”

Maddy. “We where trying to sort your daughters out.”

Tatiania got all her correct. Then it was Titania's chance. She looked at her son and daughter and then shook her head.

Ally. "I chose the wrong mum." Everybody had a great laugh.

Tatiania & Titania looked at the girl with Gaby. "This is Ruth she got her hand injured on the train today. It has healed now.”

Ruth looked at the ladies. "These girls have kept me company all day & for the first time in years I feel alive.”

Gaby. "I have promised her my father would give her a job." This brought a splutter from one of the Helens.

Titania turned to the correct Helen and said "Her."

Daisy."As Ruth no longer has a home to go back to Gaby has invited her to stay with us."

This brought a splutter from Ruth. Then she apologised. "I do not want to impose on you for you all have been so good to me almost like sisters".

Tatiania. "Ruth you will find you cannot refuse Gaby none of us can." At the concert most of the family turned up one was absent she was back home sobbing. John & George found her.

"I really felt she would show today it was in the stars."

Back in Leeds Gaby."Grandma can I ask you or Galadrial to do me a great favour tonight."

Galadrial who was behind Gaby. "What does my favourite Great granddaughter want of me?" After explaining she laughed.

"Yes we will do it tonight.”

Ruth accompanied the others back on the train then all of a sudden she said, "We have forgot all the shopping."

Gaby. "I had it all sent home while we where in the salon. Ruth noticed all there gowns matched although. Gaby's appeared to be slightly different.

Galadrial. "Gabriel have you informed her mother know yet we have found Ruth?”

"No, that is why I want you to present Ruth to me tonight with Kelly & my Dad.”

Galadrial. "I thought he had not finished changing."

Gaby. "After the stunt mum and her sisters pulled today there is no going back. He will now always look like Helen his sister."

Galadrial. “In that case yes I will ensure they are all there tonight and keep her mother away until the very last second.”

Back home Gaby showed Ruth her room. It took Ruth about ten minutes to realise that all her worldly goods where in the room. “Ruth Daisy & her sister arranged the transportation for you. If you are working for us it is better to live nearer.”

Ruth. "My flat."

Gaby "As I said in Leeds you no longer have a flat the owner has taken it back and re-let it. This is your deposit less the outstanding bills, which have been all paid up. From now on this is your home. We are having a special party to welcome you my grandma and great grandma are to look after you and prepare you for the party.”

Gaby turned to Daisy. "You come with me & your sister Buttercup to look after & prepare Ruth for the evenings presentation.”

Gaby went to visit her parent. "Mum can I have had a word with you & Granny. Can you and her bring your new sister tonight, Aunt Alice can you bring Kelly tonight?”

Later that night Gaby was seated upon her throne in the hall of Valhalla upon her head was the four crowns. She wore the Gold silver and purple dress of the Empress. At the side of the chair stood her twin unicorns. To her left was Maddy to her right was Ally. All the others took their appropriate places. The celebrations started when all of the witches where present as well as Oberon, Neptune & Woden & their respective families. “Empress may I present to you for your inspection Kerry said Aunt Alice. The next Was Grandma and Gaby's mother. May we present for your inspection Elizabeth? Gaby greeted them.

Then it was Galadrial turn "I was lost, but you found me, I was hungry but you fed me. My lamb was lost but now is found. Empress of the Heavens Queen of Valhalla. Queen of the Seas and waters. Queen of the air and all flying things. Empress of all and Man it gives me great pleasure to introduce Ruth.” Jane had taken her seat and had not noticed what was being said her eyes where still full of tears.

Galadrial then spoke further, "Empress I also have to bring charges against one of our number. The person is charged with abandonment. They sent their child for adoption. Four weeks ago everyone here was given the chance to have their sins forgiven. This individual chose not to do so. It saddens me to think my own granddaughter could not come to me for help but went to strangers. I do believe she was terrified what her mother my daughter would say but that is still no reason for what happened. “

Jenny. "It could have been me because I gave my sisters my children.”

One of the others. “I also gave my sister one of my twins.”

Gaby. "Yes" I know all about those cases. The allegations are against somebody very close to me. Who although they thought they would put me through hell. I found I liked and respected. They also have done considerable good and took in friends of mine when they needed help. So when today this came to my notice I was very surprised. This person's daughter did not know her mother until a month a go and then this person located them. Somebody who has access to my private line also managed to telephone the young lady concerned. Jane was still not paying attention.

Woden spoke. "Before you pronounce judgement in front of the family we should give the transgressor chance to redeem her self."

Neptune.”Let us see the culprit.”

George and John stood by Jane. “Aunt Jane how do you plead.” asked Gaby.

“Sorry Gaby I have not been with you tonight I should have met somebody very close to me today but they never turned up although the stars foretell they would."

"Aunt who should you have met today?"

"18 years ago I had a boy friend who turned out to be married he would not leave his wife for me although I told him I was having his child. I was terrified of telling my mother and I went away to what I thought was a different country and had the child there. The child was put up for adoption although in my heart I did not want it to go. The others sent their children around the globe to safety. My daughter did not show up on Gaby's scanner although she has the mark upon her hand. I named my daughter & she still uses the name I gave her. Four weeks ago I finally located her whereabouts and wrote her a letter.” As she was speaking Jane felt somebody take her hand. “ I do not know the reason but they did not turn up today.” Janel looked to see who was holding her hand.

She saw a teenage girl "Mum." Carol burst into tears.

Gaby. “Do we find her guilty.”

“Aunt before I pass sentence on you have you anything to say in your defence.” Carol looked at her daughter and then at Gaby.

"My Empress you have given back to me that which I lost. In that case I will ask the court to decide. Guilty came back the reply.”

“Aunt after great consideration this is my verdict for 18 years you have gone through hell wondering if you did the right thing. You missed your daughter growing up. You now have chanced to make amends. "Ruth you are my cousin. Today you said you must have met your fairy god mother. Well you where not too far from the truth. As my cousin you are a member of the Royal house of Valhalla. You will be expected to remain with dignity at all times. Most of the times we have fun but some times I am called upon to do something unpleasant. Today is not one of those occasions Jane has already suffered enough. As have you for her crimes.”

“Jane I sentence you to bring up my cousin Ruth correctly as befits her status. Like us all she needs to know what to do so will start work on Monday at 09.00. Grandma s I trust that you will ensure the training goes correctly. Ruth come here. Today we met by accident. The Train Company will be hearing from you soon as a claim for substantial damages has gone in. Like several of us here we all enjoy ballet so you will train with us when not in other lessons. Outside you will find a Ford Focus for your use as she hands her the keys. In addition your wardrobe has been increases. Now lets party for although I have spent the day with you I want to get to know you better.”

Ruth. There are some things that I discovered. After I had been adopted my new mother died & then I was taken back into care where I stayed until a year ago. I enjoyed my ballet but could not afford to continue neither could I afford to go to college although I got super grades. So I settled down in a dingy run down flat and a job that was dead-end. The one bright thing in my life was when I got that letter from my real mum. It did not have a return address the postmark told me it was posted in Skipton. Other than that there was no other clue as to where to start looking. I had to working late last night at the office and then they told me I would be finished if I did not turn in today although I had already made arrangements to work extra time in the week which I did. With working late I slept in and missed the train I intended to catch. I only just caught the train you where on. The rest you know.”

Gaby. "Before we continue can I have the name of the firm you worked for?" Ruth gave her it.

“Gaby I was going to have to give my notice there as they have been cheating me of my wages for quite some time.”

“Elizabeth this is your field and Allys. Can we have results by Monday?”

"Ally Ruth needs an official representative."

Ally. "Sure" I will start on it in the morning. Sisters I think a little peaceful demo outside a certain office in Keighley will not go amiss.”

Gandolf had been listening “She could do with a couple of guards to protect her and Ally & I know just where to look. John & George found themselves transformed back to normal. I understand you both have passed your theory now is you chance at the practical. You two are to go with Ally & Ruth on Monday morning. They will refuse to pay of course then we can have some fun.”

Gaby, Maddy & Elizabeth spent all the next day going through the firm's accounts. They called in Ally, Helen & Carol. Carol looked at the accounts. These show the staff is being paid much more than they are actually receiving. Gaby eventually found where all the money was going. She then found the firm was also giving the Revenue & Customs misleading information. Gaby soon worked out what each member of the staff had been deprived of. An email was sent to the account transferring all the stolen money to the relevant owner. This account was then emptied and closed. Gaby then decided to email the true accounts to the Inland Revenue and the Customs & Excise. Monday Ruth returned to her former offices with a warrant to seize property in lieu of wages.

Her former boss. “There is no need for that we will pay you now.”

Ally. “Cash only no cheques they can bounce.”

Ruth's, former boss swore, as he could not get access to his computer system as Gaby had coded the access.

Ally. "As the money is not forth coming then we start taking the assets. As the property was removed the former boss tried one last ditch attempt to soften Ruth.

Ally spoke to the remaining staff. "Ruth has legally seized the property of this firm following the partial stealing of all your wages by your boss. He has had a secret account in Jersey, which is now closed. The money stolen from you all will be returned to you shortly. However you will all need to look for new jobs for as I speak several gentlemen from various government departments want to interview your former boss.

George handed the hard drives to the gentlemen you will also need this code to get access. All outstanding accounts have been paid off. All the staff has been paid what was due to them. There is still sufficient to pay what is due to the government. After that there will be nothing left. Ruth's former boss got a phone call from her husband. There was somebody at his or her house with a possession order.

She shrieked, “No it cannot be happening. However they soon found that the Property Company had cancelled their mortgagee & lease.”

As Ruth left Her former boss shouted, “I will kill you for this.” Ally handed her a tape recording. “We have the duplicate. Now not only fraud & grand theft but attempted murder will be added to the charges against you. The police officers led her former boss away. The remaining staff where evicted from the office.

Ruth. "I am worried over my formed work mates they do not deserve to be job less. George took her hand while John took Ally's. “Ruth they all have jobs to go to & have been paid their dues plus interest. You also have received your dues plus interest.” With that they returned to home.

Back at home Gaby said, “Well Ruth that is now settled.”

Ruth. “ I wish we had met before then I would never have had to under go what happened to me. When my adoptive mother died my dad or the person I thought as Dad started to abuse me. It continued for several years until one day he put me in hospital. Whilst in there I told the nurse what had happened to me and I was believed. He ended up serving a sentence.”

Jane over heard all this "Sorry darling. If I knew I would have come and got you.”

Ruth "He is due to be released soon. He wrote to me asking to be forgiven and for me to meet him on his release.” She showed Jane the letter.

Jane looked at the name at the bottom of the letter. “Ruth was this your adoptive dad?”

Ruth. "Yes."

Carol looked again at the letter. “It just is not possable for it to be the same person.”

Gaby. “Jane is there a problem?”

“Yes It is the same man who got me pregnant and then would not marry me. Ruth would you be willing to meet your dad and bring him to us. It is time I had a little chat with him about my daughter.”

Ruth thought for a moment. “Gaby can you come with me?"

Gaby. "Yes it would perhaps be safer if I do come with you.”

Before going to meet him with Ruth Gaby had to do some checking up. She found that Ruth's adoptive mother could not have children. She further discovered that they had tried to adopt but had been turned down. Ruth's adoptive parents decided to find a suitable female who looked similar to them and then get the girl to sleep with her husband and when she gave it up they would claim the baby because he was the proper father. They neglected to tell Jane of their plans. Gaby. “Aunt Jane you better see this and read it.”

Jane was shocked. "He gets a few years and then chance to do it again"

Ruth. "Because of my dad I now have no interest in men and I am only happy when around females.”

Gaby. “Including my self there are at least seven here who once where male but now totally female. Aunt Jane have you any photos of you just before you met Ruth's dad?”

Carol produced several. Gaby "Aunt can I borrow this I will return it soon."

Ruth, "If you where still male Gaby I would have proposed to you already."

Kelly over heard this; "There are rather a lot of us who would like Gaby's hand she has already several eternal partners." Maddy said I am no 1 Ally no 2. We all have to agree before anymore sisters are taken on as companions. That day Gaby and Ruth meet her father outside Armley Prison from where he was released.

" Ruth you came. I did not expect you to come after what I did to you. I am truly sorry for what I did."

“Father this is a friend of mine who I live with these days.” He looked at Gaby and shook hands.

Gaby. “We both work and live in the castle. You are welcome to stay but there is a dress code that must be adhered to by everybody residing in the castle.”

"I would love to stay and perhaps get to know you again. There is a major problem though. I only have these clothes I stand up in & I have lost that much weight and the tablets they put me on have had some strange effects on me.” Ruth's father was put in the guestroom as promised. Some pyjamas where laid out for him.

Elizabeth called Gaby “We have managed to access the prison records his record was exemplary. The drugs he's has been on have almost turned him female.”

Gaby “Almost.”

Elizabeth, "His testosterone count was low but still viable for your purpose."

Ruth's father looked around the bedroom it reminded him of 18 years previously when he had seduced a young girl & got her pregnant with Ruth. Ruth had a meal with her father and then said she would have to go, as her boss was a right slave driver.

Gaby ."Ruth don't let the boss here you say that." Gaby watched through the hidden cameras as Ruth's father changed. Jane also watched, as did Ruth. Ruth had slipped her father a portion it would make him very drowsy. Then Gaby changed her appearance to look like Carol 20 years ago. She went to the guestroom and snuggled up to Ruth's dad.

"Hello darling" Said Gaby.

"Who are you? " he said.

"Darling come cuddle up and do not be silly". He was looking rather puzzled. "You know jolly well who I am don't tell me you have forgotten my name is Jane already.

Ruth's father was saying he had just come out of prison for a crime.

Gaby was saying "Silly we where at the funfair yesterday and the seaside the day before". After a while longer he began to believe it was 20 years ago. All too soon he mounted Gaby. But he was rather gentle with his lovemaking. After a short while he fell asleep. He failed to notice that Gaby had got out of bed and that he now looked like Carol did 20 years age. The following morning the screams could be heard throughout the castle.

Gaby , “What was Wrong? You are the guest of my cousin Ruth.” As Gaby had pre programmed him to say what she wanted the words "Rape" came out?

Gaby & Ruth took the new Jane to the hospital.

Ruth. “Nurse my sister says she has been raped.” All Janes clothes where removed and she was given a complete medical. They then called the Police. Jane then gave a description of her former male self to the police. It did not take long to find who the culprit was he had only just been released from prison for doing a similar thing. An arrest order went out for Ruth's father.

The doctor came there is another problem you are pregnant with your rapists baby. Jane fainted with the shock. Gaby & Ruth took her home.

Back at the castle the new Jane was sobbing her heart out. A voice spoke "You are not alone nor ever will be now. You by your scheming deprived me of my child. You then assaulted her for which you have paid the price.”

Ruth's father looked round. "You must be Ruth's boss she told me about."

Jane laughed, “Have I changed so much in 20 years. Look again who do you see.”

“Oh my god. This is a nightmare. Sorry darling you now are in exactly the same position I was 20 years ago. This time though it is you who will carry the child and give birth to it.

“ I will go to the police and tell them.”

Try that if you want as they are already looking for you with a warrant for your immediate arrest and imprisonment. It is more likley they will send you to a sanatorium as the rape has damaged your mind, I think though that we had better start calling you Janice rather than Jane as it had will get confusing otherwise.”

“Why this?”

“Oh we where planing something else but Mother Nature was rather helpful as we noticed. So we decided on this course of action.”

“If anybody were to check you and me it would show us as generic sisters. The child you now carry has been fertilised by Ruth's father Like I was. He is now on the run with quite a reward for his capture. After giving birth you will forget everything and start to look more like Ruth. You will look and act like Ruth twin sister and be totally afraid of men and never want to leave these walls alone ever again. I for my part will bring up our child again. Yes I said it was our child just like Ruth. Unlike the hardship Ruth has had to under go life should be pretty easy for you. Of course the are the lessons and training you will now have to under go and the dress code has to be obeyed. By the way I am not Ruth's boss. Her boss as you call her you have already met. Your transformation can never be undone so there is no point in trying.”

Gaby came into the room. “Well aunt what do you think of Janice now.

“ My dear Gaby I am once again going to be a mother. And have a sister for Ruth.”

Jane screamed, “Are you all mad here. Men cannot carry babies.”

Gaby. “That is correct so you must be female.”

Eventually Janice calmed down. “Jane you promise that you will rear the child as your own & I stay as a teenager.”

Carol." Yes I would not lie to you. "If you had come 20 years ago and been honest with me I would gladly have carried the baby for you and your late wife. Has things turned out the results where good for none of us.”

Jane also informed Arthur her husband who looked at her & did not say a word. He left never to be seen again. The same night Jane knocked on Helens door. “Do you mind if I move in with you Five Arthur has gone & he will not be returning?”

As Carol started sobbing. Elizabeth took her cousins hand and gave her a cuddle. “You know we will always love you.”

Alice. "What's one more female here anyway it is slightly less work for the rest of us.”

Helen, "If you are moving in then you will have to share everything with us." So Carol agreed then she proceeds to tell them the whole story.

Helen, “So you are pregnant but she is carrying the child.”

“Gaby arranged it to teach her a lesson. I though agreed to bring the child up up as my own. Janice mean while will become a teenager and lead a normal life.”

Alice "Are you sure this is wehat you want."

Jane/ "If I could go back 20 years I would still have had the baby. I would though kept it.

Ealizabeth. “In that case you better move in with us. At least the child will have plenty of aunts to look after it.”

This got Alice and Helen talking. “You know” said Alice "I enjoyed been pregnant although the baby did not survive. It's a pity the change over took Elizabeth for I sure could make use of what she used to have.”

Their comments had been noted by Daisy. Daisy came in to the room. “I am sorry to interrupt but Gaby wanted to see you all. I also could not help but here your comments about needing help. Maddy has something that may help you all I will bring it across another day. Gaby spoke "After talking it out my sisters have talked me into taking on additional companions I intend tomake my vows with them in the great Wood in the sight of Woden.”

Maddy means while had been having a chat with Ally. “You know since Gaby found out we are her sisters she will never use the present again. Maddy patted her tummy I sure would like it to fill me how about you.

Ally agreed.

Maddy. “She is not the only witch here. Can we put a spell on the present so that it never ever runs dry starting from today?” The two witches worked their magic. That afternoon Daisy went looking for the present. She took it across To Elizabeth and the others.

Daisy "I hope this helps you all out.I will have to take it back tomorrow. That night nobody noticed it was missing. Mean while the six females where all having the time of their lives with it. They all took turns trying every position they could before all collapsing on the floor in a heap.

Elizabeth "I never had so much fun before." The following day it was returned.

Daisy "Anytime you need it just let me know."

A week later the ladies asked for it again. They had an action replay of the previous week. This continues for another four weeks. Then one day Elizabeth woke up and had to go to the toilet she was sick. Shortly after she was followed by all of the others.

Jenny. “ It must have been something we have eaten.

Alice. “I remember the last time I felt like this was just before Kelly came along.”

Elizabeth " Well there is no man to get any of us pregnant so that is not an option.” All six of them continued to get sick. Elizabeth called Gaby to see if the others where all ok. To her relief they where. The sickness eventually passed off none of the witches noticed they had missed their periods.

It was another month before Alice said to her sister. “You are putting on a little weight dear. So am I we better go on a diet.”

One day Helen notified the others. "We all have an appointment at the hospital for a check up." Off the six of them went still not realising what was about to unfold. The doctor checked all six ladies and said they appeared to be in fine shape. She asked for a urine sample & blood sample. In a short while the doctor came back. “ I have discovered the cause of your illness. But first can each of you in turn lay on the couch while I do a scan to double-check my findings." As each lady lay on the couch she took a photo. The doctor said, “This is amazing all of you are having twins and not one of you suspected it.”

There was a stunned silence from all of them. Galadrial who had gone with her Grand daughters thought it was hilarious. “What do we tell the Children?”

Galadrial. "It look as if there was more life left in Elizabeth than we suspected. You lot better get married to each other.

Elizabeth "Even if somehow I managed to impregnate all of these it does not explain me.” Alice came up with a plausible explanation which was accepted". That night Elizabeth & the others asked to speak to Gaby. Gaby we have to request something of you. We have been living together for a while now. We would like to ask your permission each of us to make vows together.”

Gaby looked at Jane. “ What about Arthur your husband?”

Jane, The divorce has been finalised it was quite amicable. Arthur has now got a new partner. Gaby looked at her sisters and cousin's. “Well do we let them?” There was a great cheer.

Elizabeth. “This is not the only thing we all have to tell you we are all expecting Twins. We are all three months gone already.”

Gaby pretended to be shocked but she already knew from her Granny who was over the moon. “Well my father has certainly gone out in style all six of you and so close together. No wonder he changed he must have been shattered. Of course this means that all of you will have to join the growing band and go to baby training classes.”

That night Maddy whispered to Ally “Do you think Elizabeth was responsible for all those births or where we.”

Ally. “No the present is still here so it cannot be that.” In the woods with Gaby and the others seated around. The six took each other as Eternal partners.

Then Elizabeth said it gives me great pleasure to announce that my daughter has agreed to take a new companion tonight.”

Maddy spoke "As number one I agree with the Empress decision. "So will the candidates and existing companions please stand? "We the sisters of Drew take unto you to be our partner and sister for life eternally.” Every one of them was handed a medallion; a ring and a set of gold earrings that looked like globes. Over the next week Maddy and the others made constant use of the present. It was a wonder it was not worn away.

Even Daisy & her sister Buttercup got in on the act & used it. It was not long before the results started to show with Gaby been the first to go sick them Maddy. Over the next few hours every young female was sick. At first like the older ones being pregnant did not come to mind. Gaby's mother called to see how everybody was doing only to find every one of the girls laid up in the bed.

Gaby "I think we must have food poisoning or something."

Titania had come with Titiana & Justine to see the girls and tend to their needs.

Justine "Who is the father."

All the young witches looked shocked. We have never been with a man.

Kerry. “All any of us have done is fool around with the present.”

Tatiania , "Can you show me the present."

Daisy brought it to her. “I will keep this to experiment with.” With that she and her sisters left.

Maddy "You don't think the spell was responsible and we are pregnant."

Ally. “Well there is one sure way to find out.” Ally made appointments for all of them at the hospital for a check up. At the appointment the doctor gave all the girls the one over. "Is it something in the water up there that is making you all pregnant and not realising it."

“Congratulations are in order you all are having twins.”

Gaby. "What even me."

The doctor, "All of you."

Tatiania looked again at the present as Gaby called it. She could find no spell on it. She felt it. It just felt like latex. After talking it over with the remaining Witches they decided to experiment with it. Justine was the first to put it on. Once she put it on it appeared to come to life. Each of the older witches enjoyed themselves using it. The only one who did not participate was Galadrial all her sisters and daughters did though. Four weeks later they all went down with a mysterious virus. The doctor after the two previous batches suspected the same thing. Sure enough every one of them was pregnant.

Justine , "It just is not possible none of us have been with a man for years & besides we are far to old."

The doctor, “ Well like your daughters and granddaughters you are all having twins congratulations."

Ally & Maddy decided to keep quiet about being responsible for the present. It was only supposed to have been used by them. Galadrial spoke to her daughters about how it had happened.

Justine. "We thoroughly checked it for spells and there was nothing no trace of any spell or hex." Before each of us used it we disinfected it & yet somehow everybody who has come in contact with it is having a baby regardless of age.”

Tatiania, "I noticed something else strange my body is changing it appears to be changing to that of a younger woman."

Galadrial asked the others if the same was happening to them. Then she spoke to Gaby's Aunts & Parents.

Elizabeth, "It appears we all have or gaining the body of 18 year olds".

Galadrial summoned Daisy & said, "I want to conduct an experiment." "I have cleaned and disinfected this item can you put it on and use it on me please. Daisy was not too happy about the idea but she went ahead. Galadrial notice it seemed to come to life when attached to somebody. She still went ahead as she thought that if the others could be 18 again so can I. Jool's & the other younger ones also noticed they appeared a little younger but the difference was negligible.

Daisy & Buttercup looked like they would pop. Ariel had to give up swimming and take up residence at the castle. Adrienne & Faith where also not missed. As they had partaken also. Although it was only a couple of weeks after giving birth Adrienne found her tummy was full again. Tinkerbell also found she was with child. Galadrial was all to soon find the effects of the present. As she also went down with twins.

The doctor joked “I am going to have to move the hospital up there with the amount of twins you all are having.”

Galadrial spoke to Woden "This has me baffled". This is the only connection yet there is no spell. Yet every witch has regressed to the age of 18 and is having a child.”

Gaby decided to have a chat with Woden. "I have just remembered something you said to me a while ago. You said that soon the sound of babies would reverberate where once your proud warriors had stood.”

Woden laughed, "Gabriel you are quite smart. Well two witches did try and put a spell on the present but it failed. This got my brothers & I thinking. The present was made of Latex. I discovered I a very special virus could be implanted in the present. It would return the user to when they where 18 years of age. There was a slight miscalculation on my part the spell although it never worked got mixed in with the virus. Some how the virus hascombined with the DNA of Drew.”

Gaby "If that is the case we had better destroy it.”

Woden "YOU WILL NOT. I have it in safe keeping now and the prophecy has been fulfilled".

Gaby called every one together. "It appears that we all have been infected with a virus that will keep us forever young. We will always appear to be around 18 years of age. The virus also has absorbed the DNA of ANDREW BOND. "So regardless of who you are or what he is now. He is to be listed as the father for all the children. There also is the second problem of documentation. Nobody would believe Helen now if she passed her self off as a 40-year-old when she looks 18. Ally came in & said, "All that is in hand and the correct documentation had used so you keep your own names". Daisy & her sister Buttercup had decided to change their hair to match everybody else's so they became blonde. Their ears' was the only thing to give them away.

Back at home John Noticed George's hair also change colour to Blonde. Looks like our wives decided to change our hairstyles & colour again.

John I keep wondering when they will decide to change us completely".

George "Perhaps they will not. If they do it to us it does not bother me if we do get changed."

John "Well I for one feel like the odd one out". Our wives changes us to look more like them. We still are the two odd ones. Everybody else is female and pregnant .”

Woden had over heard discussion. He decided to pay them a visit?

“Welcome” they said to him. “Grandfather we both have a problem we both love our partners dearly and would do anything they asked of us. The problem is we are surrounded by the most attractive females who all are having a good time. Our wives get included but we get left behind. It is not that we are jealous or anything". We even enjoy the changes the girls keep making to us. "However we do feel that we are the odd ones out."

"Why don't you try this with each other."

Woden handed them the present. The boys did not know its potential. George looked at John. “Woden you mean for us to use this on each other.”

Woden "The choice is yours but it better be soon for I need it returning before the girls return.” John & George decided it would be ok as it was not like they where going to do it normally. They did as Woden suggested and then returned it to him. They did not say a word to their wives.

The next day Daisy & her sister said to their husbands. "You are coming with us shopping we need new clothes". They went with their respective wives. As they got to the store Daisy said "Darling would you model that dress for me. I am so tired. Both husbands felt their body change to match their wives. Neither of them could deny their wives. So they modelled the dresses for them. The wives ordered and paid for what the wanted and they moved on to the next store. By the end of the day John & George where exhausted. Both of the lads had to go to the toilet they where as sick as a dog.

Daisy looked at her sister Buttercu, “Did you give them a complete transfer”

Buttercup. “Oh no Daisy they are having our sickness for us.” Then a smile came across her face. "Perhaps we should let them experience the whole pregnancy."

After giving it thought Daisy said, "I want him intact for a little while longer then we can think about having two more sisters."

At 45 weeks both leprechauns and Tinkerbell gave birth to twin girls. The Leprechauns registered the children as their husbands. The girls then went on to feed their babies. "I think now is about right for a full change they can help with the feeding. John & George where talking together when they noticed the changes.

"It looks like the girls have finally decided our destiny,” said John.

"Well I for one cannot wait to get into her dresses, " said George.

They both laughed. They where still laughing when their wives came in. "Your turn now to fed the girls, "said Daisy. Both lads look at themselves and said, "Ok".

Daisy looks at her sister and said, "That went too easy they are up to something". Both lads fed their twin daughters. Then George suggested life would be easier for the both of us if we both fed each of the babies. Each time rotated the babies so they get use to the both of us. This surprised both girls who agreed to do as requested. The next day John said, "as I already look like you would it not be better for us to be dressed alike."

Daisy "If they go on like this. We are going to have to arrange for them to join the sisters."

The very next day John said, "Can I speak to the both of you please".

Daisy "Ok what is the problem."

John, "Daisy please do not take this the wrong way. We both love and adore you. "We would do anything for you both. We never objected when you made us look almost like you. We happily share the duties of looking after our children. For all that we are not Girls are we. We are excluded from certain pleasures because we are your husbands.”

Daisy "Sorry if you both feel excluded we due try to include you in everything. I thought you both enjoyed the dressing up.”

George "That is part of the problem if we dress up it is in your clothes not ours. We both like the dressing up and at times would like to go out with our wives or sisters."

Suddenly it dawned on Daisy. "You mean you wish to go out with your wife dressed as her twin."

John & George. "We like things as they currently are. Yes we would love to go out with our twins if we can arrange care for the babies.”

The following day Daisy went to see Gaby. “I was wondering if somebody could baby sit for us so we can go out together.”

Daisy told Gaby the problem. “In that case we will go out with you and your sisters tonight.”

Tinkerbell said “I can manage the babies as well as my own.”

That night Daisy had obtained the present again as the four of them shared everything so they did again this time though the girls made sure it was their husbands on the receiving end of it. Both girls ensured their husbands where fully changed before used the present on them. The boys awoke the following morning to find a little item missing. A few seconds after waking they where both violently sick.

Daisy. "Some how you both are about a month pregnant."

"How has it happened. I do not know. We changed you last night but could not bring you back because of the pregnant state you both are in".

Daisy "Oh my god we did it with the present."

Buttercup. "The present if used on witches makes them 18 and pregnant.”

Daisy, "Yes but these two are not witches or even leprechauns."

Daisy, "Well what do you call a male Witch for that is what they were." Daisy and her sister found they could still control what the boys looked like. Even though they could not revert them back to been male. “ Looks like we finally got our twin sisters after al.”.

Daisy went to inform. Gaby to tell her there had been an accident and the boys would be no more but there would be another two identical twins leprechauns. Daisy continued, "My sister Buttercup & I got loaned something we where promised would help bring the feminine side out in the boys. Both of them have certainly had the feminine side brought out they are now both with child.”

Gaby, "You had better rename your husbands and bring them along."

“Tinkerbell will stand in for you whenever you need to go out.”

Daisy thanked Gaby. John & George found Daisy & Buttercup sobbing away. Both John & George put their arms around their respective wives. “Look we still love you and we took vows to be your partner for eternity. Even as we are now we still are your partners and nothing will separate us."

Daisy & Buttercup gave their husbands a hug. " We better call you Aster & Poppy in future."

Daisy, " Come we have some shopping to do and this time we will model it for you." With that they set of shopping. 35 weeks later Aster & Poppy gave birth to twin girls.

Gaby & the Police Lady

Ruth came with Lily & Rose to see Gaby. “There is a police lady here to see you. She asked for you personally Gaby.”

Gaby. "Well she has been a good friend to some of us. I wonder what she wants. Kat brought the lady in to see Gaby. Some of the gang remained while she talked to Gaby.

Tinkerbell went up to the police lady and took her by the hand. "There is no need to cry here for I am a good fairy and I will help you." This brought a smile to the officer's face.

She turns to Gaby and said, "I wish it was so simple. My partner who has been an officer for 30 years assaulted and raped me last night. I have been at the hospital & I have put in a complaint. From what I have been told the complaint will get shelved. I do not know if you can help but even if you can't I can do with some friends at the moment. As things stand I do not feel safe at the police hostel where I live.”

Gaby "You are welcome to stay with us. In fact Ruth can you take her to my Uncle Neptune's rooms. She will be safe there and get Lorelei & her sisters to tend to her wounds.” Ruth & Lorelei took her to a suite of rooms.

Lorelei. "What do we call you?"

The police lady replied "My name is Pegi. " It is Gaelic for Margaret or Peggy. Whilst been shown to the room Lorelei met her father who demanded to know what was going on.

Lorelei "Father we are here on Gaby's orders. She asked that you make our guest as welcome as if it was the Empress herself.”

Neptune noticed the wounds on the girl. “Am I to be a nurse."

Lorelei, "No father that is our job & that of our sisters. Father the Empress has asked me to send you to her & she will explain everything later".

Neptune knew that if Gaby had sent the girl then something serious had happened. Neptune found Gaby in the throne room calling a council of war.

Neptune, "Something has got you riled my niece."

Gaby explained what had happened to Pegi. "Will you ensure that good care is taken of Pegi she has been a good friend to us."

Neptune. "What about other help. I do not like what has happened to her either"

Gaby."It is far worse than we originally thought. We managed to access the police National computer. The officer concerned has had least five rape allegations a year over the last 25 years. Each time all the records get lost and nothing comes of it. So Pegi has cause for concern. Not only that but several of the girls have ended up dead.”

Gaby called for Michael & Peter. "I need some information about these girls can you help”

Peter brought out his book and looked at it. "Empress can you come with us to the light." Gaby accompanied Peter & Michael.

Peter. "This is most embarrassing. What you have brought to my attention has some how slipped past me. We will do all we can to make amends.”

The Two of them took Gaby to talk with the girls. Each one of the girls confirmed that it was the same assailant and killer. Peter came back with a long computer print out.

Peter. "He has been responsible for all of these as he handed Gaby a massive printout. "On average he strikes at least once a week but not everyone complains. Some have taken their own lives out of shame others he has killed. Let us go to the light. In the great hall of judgement there sat upon his throne was somebody Gaby knew well. "I hope you like the tour Empress of your realm."

Gaby. "Woden what are you up to now?"

Woden "The girls they have asked for justice. The police have constantly failed in their duty to bring the criminal to trial. So we will hold the court here in his absence and you will be the judge."

Gaby. "I have already have heard first hand from his latest victim who now resides at Neptune's palace. I though will here all of his victims. He must be given chance to repent. For even Satan was given that chance.”

Gaby listened to all the victims' cries then she said, "I promise that he will be brought to justice and he will wish that he had never been conceved. Michael these girls will be accompanying us on the return. I wish them to tell their stories to the council of elders."

Michael was about to object when Woden spoke "Michael remember that you must always obey the Queen."

Peter. "We may soon come to visit you for I have an interest down there." With that Gaby & the girls entered the portal and returned to the castle. The witches where surprised to find that Gaby was accompanied by a host of angels.

Maddy. "There is no doubt as to where she has just visited.”

Gaby " Sisters we are planing to deal with a rapist. Before we begin you must here all these stories."

Each of the angels told her story and how she was raped and killed. Gaby brought out the file."Ally & Elizabeth can you track down and find all of these for me? They also are his victims.

Shona stepped forward. "Mother please can I volunteer to be the next victim. If he had gone to Hell he would still be found guilty. You are the light to lighten the darkness. I put this request to the Empress of Heaven and not my mother."

Gaby "Very well but I will not have even you put in danger.”

That night Maddy, Shona, Gaby Jool's, Ally & Kat went to the After Dark disco on Keighley Road. During the night Shona claimed to lose her purse. She called for the police and was told somebody would be with her soon. The officer they had been wanting turned up. He took a sobbing Shona out to his car. Outside he tried to drag her into the car. He ripped at Shona clothes. The next instant he was unconscious on the floor. When he awoke he found he himself had been taken to the ancient torture chamber.

Gaby"I am glad you are awake it was rude of you to fall asleep like that earlier. You have been found guilty in your absence of crimes against various females. Have you anything to say before judgement is passed on you".

He came out with vile verbal abuse at Gaby and finished it off with saying, "I'll kill you like I killed those other bitches."

Gaby, " You mean all these girls who have all been dying to meet you again". As in walked all the girls he had killed or caused the death of.

He looked petrified as each girl came up to him. "What shall we do with him?” asked one of the girls as she ran her fingers down him. He gave a shudder. "How about tar & Feather him. As the first one mounted him. The second girl & third girls started prodding at his breasts. As she got him excited the first girl took out a knife. "This is the cause of your problem this little lump here."

As he started to yell for help. As he looked down he noticed he appeared to have a vagina & breasts. The next instant he saw all his victims had grown a penis. The first girl spoke. "Everyone of your victims is going to do to you what you did unto them. This means that you will get to die many times . We though will start with your latest first. By the time we get to your first victim perhaps you will have shown some remorse.” Shona was the first who did exactly to him what he had done to her.

"Pegi was next "You are a shame to our profession.” Day after day it seamed to on until finally he got to his first two victims “The first Victim said, "Have you learned your lesson and curbed your anger yet?"

He looked up for by now he was in a sorry state. "I am truly sorry. I lashed out in anger I did not mean to kill you."

"You not only killed me but also your daughter. We both still love you although you did what you did." He finally broke down in tears.

Aster came in with Poppy. "You have been very naughty. Now The Queen of Heaven has sent her angels to save you." He saw his wife and daughter hold their hands out to him. He reached out and held on to them. As he did he felt himself floating away. The following morning the Police officers body was found outside the After Dark NightClub. At the inquest it was discovered he had suffered a massive Heart attack.

Shona came to see Gaby. "Why did you let him go like that?"

Gaby."Even you have been given a second chance. First he had to meet his ghosts."
